Minnetonka Community Education

Experience everyday life at a barn! You’ll experience daily riding, learn how to braid manes and tails with ribbon, groom and care for the horses (including bathing) and care for them at the end of the day.

Spend time outdoors and build lasting friendships with fellow horse lovers in a structured and positive environment.  

Campers are broken into smaller groups of similar riding experience, which is perfect for both the new and more experienced riders. At the end of the week, parents and family are invited to a performance to see what their camper has been learning! Please note that riding takes up about 1 hour per day in an arena, no trails and consist of learning to how to steer, stop, turn, and walk/trot on their own. Campers will spend time on the ground with horses throughout the rest of the day. Drop-off is at 9am and pickup is 3pm each day Monday through Friday. Sorry we do not allow parents to stay for the day. However there is a “show” for the parents Fridays of week-long camps at 1:30pm! This is a great time to take pictures, watch your child ride and meet their horse they worked during the week. 

WHAT DO CAMPERS NEED TO BRING? ● Long pants, closed toe shoes, appropriate clothes for weather inside/outside of the barn. ● No flip flops. ● Sunscreen/hat/bug spray ● Water bottle/drinks/snacks and a lunch ● Treats for the horses if you want ● Helmets are provided.

WEATHER: Camps are held rain or shine, as we have an indoor barn and arena.
